School-Fall, Winter, Spring Summer steals into hibernation as fall winds begin to whip the many colored leaves from the trees and swirl them about on the ground, School bells are heard ringing in the crisp cool mornings, and, refreshed from their vacations, students return eagerly to the modern brick building on top of the hill. Excited laughter, new acquaintances and renewals of old, different subjects, all signify youthful energy at work. But soon Winter routes Fall from her throne and with sharp northern blasts and feathery snowstorms hurls itself upon the world. Boots and overshoes are brought into evidence, as are woolen caps and mittens. Students sit idly watching the snow falling outside and sigh as they return to their books. As winter hangs on grimly, a restlessness and sense of fatigue seems to dampen the spirits of teachers and pupils alike. Classes are dull, uninteresting discussions of dry, unrelenting facts. Suddenly, one morning with the chirp of a robin, spring looms in the olfing. Books are forgotten, and minds become unsettled. Now comes the impatient waiting for the end of day when students will be free for a time to do as they please. Laughter comes easier and life does not seem such tired, unrestful misery. It is as if with the reawaken- ing of the earth, souls have been reawakened also. Minds begin to thaw out, as it were. Almost unawares the school year is over, and as summer again returns, students put away papers and books, some with regret, others with joy, and play in earnest until another summer rolls by, when they again return to the inevitable school cycle. 14

University of Michi- gan versity University of Chicago Phi Beta Kappa History and Mathematics Com A study of events which have happened hundreds, thousands, and millions of years ago proves extremely interesting. We are made to realize the effect of these happenings upon the various nations, how present conditions were brought about, and some possible solutions of present problems. The primary purposes of courses in mathematics is to develop powers cf understand- ing and of analysing relations of quantity and space which are necessary for a control over our environment and an appreciation of the progress of civilization. It also develops habits of thought which will make these powers effective in the life of the individual. mel-cial The purpose of this course is to give the student a good training for the business world. Accuracy and speed are developed in typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping. How- ever, should one attend college, typing and shorthand would be of assistance to him there also. Library and 0ffice I Our library gives us a wide choice of reference books, biographies and fiction. Valuable service is rendered by our secretary in performing the clerical work, plan- ning classes, and in making out programs. mal x D. C. H.
